Chapter 470: Not a good thing!
Jiang Feng froze.
He never expected that this old woman, whom he had never met, would harbor such great hostility toward him.
But after all, she was Su Xueyan's grandmother, so Jiang Feng couldn't be disrespectful to an elder.
His expression remained calm as he lightly introduced himself.
"Grandma, hello, I'm Jiang Feng."
But he didn't expect that this sentence would anger the old lady.
The old lady's face sank instantly, her eyes sharp as a knife, and she let out a furious snort.
"Don't be so affectionate!"
Her voice was loud, echoing in the VIP lounge.
"I haven't agreed to give my granddaughter to you!"
As soon as she said that, the atmosphere on the spot plummeted to freezing point.
Su Jianlong and Su Jiancheng stood to the side, their faces showing schadenfreude, they glanced at each other and said nothing.
Su Shian went further, his mouth curling up and his eyes lighting up.
Su Xueyan's face turned a little pale; she opened her mouth to say something, but seeing the old lady's expression, she swallowed her words.
Jiang Feng remained calm, saying nothing and offering no defense.
He simply stood there, neither humble nor arrogant, letting the old lady vent.
Seeing Jiang Feng being targeted, Su Shian was overjoyed, immediately stepping up to the old lady with a fawning smile.
"Grandma, you're absolutely right!"
His voice carried a hint of provocation.
"This Jiang Feng has long ago deceived Xueyan to the point she's lost her bearings. In my view, he's just after our Su family's wealth!"
Su Shian said this while glancing back at Jiang Feng, his eyes full of smugness.
"Grandpa and Xueyan have both been fooled by him; now that you're back, old lady, you must give him a good lesson!"
Upon hearing Su Shian's words, the old lady's gaze grew even sharper.
She stared at Jiang Feng, sizing him up from head to toe, then spoke coldly.
"I will certainly protect my granddaughter well, not letting anyone deceive her!"
Su Xueyan could no longer hold back.
She took two steps forward, stood beside Jiang Feng, looked at the old lady, her tone tinged with pleading.
"Grandma, it's not what you think. Jiang Feng..."
The old lady raised a hand, cutting off Su Xueyan's words.
"You silly girl, you don't even realize you've been deceived!"
Her tone was severe, leaving no room for doubt.
"Your grandfather is senile, and you're following his foolishness? Have you checked this man's background? Why are you rushing to be with him?"
Su Xueyan bit her lip, still wanting to say something.
"Grandma, Jiang Feng has helped our Su family a lot..."
The old lady let out a cold snort.
"Help the Su family? As an outsider, what could he possibly do for us? I'd say he's more of a hindrance!"
Su Xueyan's face grew even uglier.
Su Xiaonuan stood at the back, watching this scene, and finally couldn't hold back.
She took two steps forward and spoke loudly.
"Grandma, you can't say that about my brother-in-law! He's truly good to the Su family; without him, the Su family would have..."
The old lady's gaze instantly shifted to Su Xiaonuan, her face growing even darker.
"What does a little girl like you know?"
Her voice was loud, full of reproach.
"Do you even have the right to speak here?"
Su Xiaonuan was stunned by the scolding, but quickly lifted her head again.
"Grandma, I'm telling the truth! My brother-in-law..."
"Enough!"
The old lady shouted loudly to cut her off, her eyes full of anger.
Su Xiaonuan, too, had a stubborn temperament and had never been scolded like this before.
Her eye sockets were a bit red, but she stubbornly spoke up.
"Grandma, you've just returned and know nothing; on what basis do you say that about my brother-in-law?"
This remark completely enraged the old lady.
The old lady's face turned livid, her hand gripping the crutch trembling.
"You... you little girl, dare to talk back?"
She said this, snatched up the crutch, and was about to strike Su Xiaonuan.
Su Xiaonuan frightened, closed her eyes, and instinctively stepped back.
Su Xueyan's face changed dramatically; she wanted to step forward to stop it, but the distance was too great, and there was no time.
Just as the crutch was about to fall, a hand reached out and firmly grasped it.
Jiang Feng, unbeknownst when, had already stood in front of Su Xiaonuan, reaching out to block the old lady's crutch.
His hand was steady, not moving a thread.
The old lady tried to swing her crutch, but she couldn't move it at all.
Her face grew even uglier as she lifted her head and glared at Jiang Feng.
"You… you dare to block me?"
Jiang Feng looked at the old lady, his expression calm, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"Old lady, Xiaonuan only spoke a few truthful words; there's no need for you to resort to violence."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear.
"If you have something to say, just say it properly."
The old lady trembled with anger, she yanked hard on her crutch, but still couldn't move it.
"You… what are you even? I'm disciplining my own granddaughter—what does it have to do with you?"
Jiang Feng released his grip and stepped back.
"She calls me brother-in-law; I can't just stand by and watch her get beaten."
The old lady gripped her crutch, her chest heaving violently—clearly she was fuming.
Su Xueyan hurried forward and supported the old lady's arm.
"Grandma, please don't be angry; Xiaonuan didn't mean it."
Su Xiaonuan hid behind Jiang Feng, her eyes red, but she didn't cry out.
Su Jianlong finally spoke up, offering advice in a hypocritical tone.
"Aunt, please calm down; the kids don't know better—don't stoop to their level."
Su Jiancheng also chimed in.
"Yes, aunt, you just came back—don't let anger harm your health."
The old lady shook off Su Xueyan's hand, gave Jiang Feng a cold glance, then glanced at Su Xiaonuan, and snorted.
"Let's go back and talk later!"
Having said that, she leaned on her crutch and strode straight toward the car.
The few men in black suits followed closely behind, never leaving her side.
Su Jianlong hurried over, opened the car door, and wore a beaming smile.
"Aunt, please get in the car."
The old lady got into the car, her expression still grim.
Su Xueyan stood where she was, looking at Jiang Feng, her eyes full of apology.
"Jiang Feng, I'm sorry, my grandmother…"
Jiang Feng shook his head, cutting her off.
"It's fine, let's go."
Su Xiaonuan poked her head out from behind Jiang Feng and spoke softly.
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry; it's all my fault for getting you scolded by grandmother."
Jiang Feng glanced at her and gave a faint smile.
"It's not your fault; get in the car."
The three of them got into the car.
In the car, the old lady sat in the back row, eyes closed, not uttering a word.
The car drove through the darkness, heading toward the Su Family Villa.
The atmosphere inside the car was oppressive; nobody spoke.
Only the low hum of the engine sounded especially clear in the quiet night.
Jiang Feng leaned against the armchair, eyes closed, his expression calm.
He didn't take the old lady's earlier words to heart.
An elderly person who had spent decades abroad.
Having suddenly returned, seeing a strange man beside her granddaughter, a bit of hostility is normal.
After driving for over forty minutes, they finally arrived at the Su Family Villa.
The car stopped; Su Jianlong got out first, opened the door, and helped the old lady out.
The old lady leaned on her crutch, glanced at the Su Family Villa, her eyes holding a hint of complexity.
"After all these years, it's still the same."
She muttered to herself, then stepped forward toward the inside.
Su Xueyan followed behind, with Jiang Feng walking beside her.
Su Xiaonuan walked at the rear, head lowered, her spirits low.
The group entered the house, and the old lady sat down on the sofa.
Su Jianlong and Su Jiancheng sat opposite the old lady; Su Xueyan poured her a cup of tea and brought it over.
"Grandma, have some tea."
The old lady took the teacup, took a sip, and set it on the tea table.
She lifted her head, looked at Su Xueyan, and her tone softened somewhat.
"Xueyan, Grandma isn't targeting you; she's just worried you might be deceived."
Su Xueyan sat beside her and spoke softly.
"Grandma, I know you mean well, but Jiang Feng really isn't what you think he is."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's face darkened again.
"You're young—what do you know? Men are no good; your grandfather is the best proof!"
She mentioned Here, her expression was indignant; it was quite obvious that she had recalled some unpleasant recollection.
She paused, then suddenly shifted the conversation.
So This Time coming back, Grandmother has already arranged everything for you.
Su Xueyan froze, a faint unease stirring in her heart.
"What arrangements?"
The old lady looked at her eyes and said, word by word.
"I met a young man abroad; his family background is good, his character is good, and he is a suitable match for your family. This Time I've come back, I just want to settle your affair."
As soon as those words were spoken, the living room fell silent instantly.
